I had to reboot my 11/73 RT-11 system yesterday due to
a brown out.
While it was booting I starting enter some appointments in my PalmV
and realized that I what I had in my hand had more memory, 2Meg
for the Palm compared to 256K for the DEC, and probably more
processing power. Just for fun, has or would someone compare
the processing powers of the Palm vs the DEC 11/23 thru 93 series.
Challenge/Joke:
If you really want to impress your fellow pdp users and have absolutely
nothing
to do this holiday season, I challenge someone to port RT-11 to the Palm
handhelds.
Jerome Fine replies:
Which OS runs on the Palm handhelds? Possibly W95/W98 or even the
old DOS/Win 3.1? I will take the challenge in that case. Care to bet how
long it will take?
Sincerely yours,
